The running order of the two semi-finals of Söngvakeppnin 2025 , the contest through which Iceland is going to select their entry for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest, was revealed.

The national broadcaster of the country, RÚV, revealed the running order of the artists for the two semi-finals of Söngvakeppnin 2025.

The order of the first semi-final is as per below:

1. Stebbi Jak – “Set Me Free”/“Freslið Mitt”
2. Birgo – “Stormchaser”/“Ég Flýg Í Storminn”
3. Ágúst – “Like You” / “Eins Og Þú”
4. Bia – “Northern Lights”/ “Norðrljós”
5. Væb – “Róa”

The order of the second semi-final is as per below:

1. Dagur Sig – “Carousel” / “Flugdrekar”
2. Júlí og Dísa – “Fire” / “Eldur”
3. Bára Katrín – “Rise Above”/“Rísum Upp”
4. Bjarni Arason – “Aðeins Lengur”
5. Tinna – “Words” / “Þrá”

Söngvakeppnin 2025

Following the tradition of recent years, all participants are expected to perform their songs in Icelandic during the semi-finals. However, in the grand final, they may present their English-language versions.

• Semi-Final 1: February 8
• Semi-Final 2: February 15
• Grand Final: February 22

The show will be hosted by Benedikt Valsson, Guðrún Dís Emilsdóttir, and Fannar Sveinsson.

This year, each semi-final will feature five songs, with three advancing to the grand final. Unlike previous editions, where five entries competed in the final, six songs will battle for victory this year.

Additionally, the previous format of a two-song superfinal, where the winner was determined solely by public voting, has been retired. The winner—and Iceland’s Eurovision 2025 representative—will now be determined through a 50/50 combination of public votes and an international jury comprising seven members.
